SAS Platform is Now an MRC-Accredited Ad Server

Sizmek, the world’s largest independent buy-side advertising platform delivering impressions that inspire today announced that the company has received accreditation from the Media Rating Council (MRC) for the Sizmek Advertising Suite (SAS), the company’s new ad server. This accreditation covers impressions across display, video, mobile web and mobile in-app, for viewability across display, plus unique desktop.

“We are very excited about accreditation for the Sizmek Advertising Suite,” said Mark Grether, CEO of Sizmek. “This represents another milestone in becoming the independent leader in media, data and creative and strengthens our position as the largest global buy side stack. SAS is part of yet another product rollout following the successful launch of the new Sizmek DSP earlier this year.”

Sizmek is committed to providing agencies and advertisers with an independent, unbiased account of their digital marketing campaigns and has historically demonstrated that commitment through accreditation of many of its measurement and reporting services. In 2008, Sizmek’s predecessor company Eyeblaster also received MRC accreditation and the company has pursued accreditation annually since. The MRC works to ensure that measurement services are valid, reliable and effective and that MRC-accredited measurement services meet rigorous standards for quality and accuracy.

“Fully migrating our campaigns over to SAS was a simple process and we are pleased with how they are running, as well as the reporting functionality,” said Lauren Soule, Digital Content Manager, Mayo Performing Arts Center.  “With SAS, a lot of things take half as much time as they used to.”

“Our clients have told us that closed platforms and walled gardens are an obstacle to improving first-party data.  Additionally, walled gardens do not provide enough of the right data to effectively measure campaigns,” said Volker Hatz, Chief Data Officer at Sizmek.  “In response, we’re happy to offer a self-service, MRC-accredited, cross-device solution capable of offering raw data on the path to conversion with viewability and custom data points.”
